where does the time go?

The last 8 days has been a blur. Friday we did get together with Jerry(and Alison and Shawn and Cheyenne) and acquired a new Verizon cellphone to replace the one with the broken charging port. We also acquired a second verizon phone, figuring two verizons is better than one verizon and one Tracfone. anyway , our primary cell phone remains 716-390-8738, while the new number for the secondary phone is 716- 955-0800. all you verizon people can now talk to both of us at the same time. Since the old phone totally died, we could not have them transfer all the contact numbers, so I have been busy recreating and inputing all the phone numbers into two phones.

We have been busy working on the deck at the vikings.It lacks about 5 ft of completing the actual deck. Derek donated metal railing material that came from his dismantled swimming pool. We found some wrought iron stairway railings that will work well with Dereks' material.

Today, we repaired the lakeside catwalk and put it into place. This weekend, the boat lift will probably go in .Then the boat. Last year the boat never made it to the lake.

Memorial day was different this year. We heard that Ripley had a sizable parade, and since the route was near by, we decided to check it out. It was a typical small town parade, with lots of old cars and motorcyles, and tractor drawn wagons with local veterans and seniors, etc. After that we went to Erie and checked out the Presque Isle Pennisula, which is a beautiful public facility. It is about 10 miles long, out into Lake Erie. It has paved trails for bikes, walkers, roller bladers, etc. It has numerous beaches, and hiking trails along with volleyball courts. There is a water taxi available that will transport you and your bike. It is just a beautiful setting to enjoy and Erie area people are lucky to have such a facility.
